Hi.
I’m Maximus Palmer, and my Mom thought it would be nice if I blogged about my new little brother, Kit-Cat, today.
Yep. Apparently the kid is stickin’ around for good.
I’m not really sure why they wanted me to announce the news though, because…well…the dude sort of weirds me out. I mean, he’s craaaaazy hyper, and according to Mom, his claws are MAD sharp. What’s up with that!? He’s always purring and trying to rub up against me, and he acts like he wants to play with me too, but that is soooo not happening. No way, José. Not with those prickly little paws.
And get this- now that his leg is almost all better, he’s starting to act like he owns the place. Yeah…I know- total weirdo, right? He even took over my spot on the back of the couch for, like, two hours yesterday. The kids got no manners, I tell ya.
And to top it off, he’s even started playing with one of MY toys, too.
Mom says she doesn’t know why I care, because I “haven’t played with it one time” since they bought it for me. But still. It’s mine, and he doesn’t even know how to play with it right anyway. You’re supposed to have someone throw it for you so that you can go fetch it. Kit-Cat just attacks it…
…and lets it attack him.
And stares at it…
And stares with it…
And sometimes, he gets this REAL crazy look in his eyes, and just goes off on it…
Just watching him play exhausts me.
I mean, doesn’t he know that taking naps is where it’s at? Oh well.
His loss.

PS- Max’s Mom here… 🙂 Just wanted to add that since Max hasn’t been chasing Kit-Cat, and because we’ve got a great/pet-loving house-sitter that will take care of both of our pets when we’re gone, everything is working out just fine.
And a big thanks to everyone who emailed us about adopting him if things hadn’t gone quite as smoothly here with Max. We truly appreciate your kindness and generosity, and we’ll definitely keep you posted on how he’s doing!

I’m so glad the two furbabies are getting along! Love the photos.
Layla, I am avid reader or your blog and so enjoyed Maximus post today. I have laughed so hard I even cried! Such a cute post, and so glad that you are keeping Kit-Cat, it was meant to be 🙂
Blessings,
Jan
Awwww that is great news! Loved the update……cracked me up 🙂 It was “just meant to be” 🙂
Love the picture of the 3 of you 🙂
I keep hoping your show will get picked up on HGTV!
So sweet!
yaaaaay a sweet kitty for your home!!! i am sure maximus will be a good big brother 😀
too funny! That is soooo Max’s voice! I think you should let Kit-Cat write one about Max (just to be fair you know.) 🙂
Hilarious! I was ooooooing and ahhhhhing … your critters are just plain adorable! Love your blog, and love that you spread ‘Happy’! Thanks for sharing!
I love Maximus’s cartoon picture and signature!
This is a fantastic post.
I’m so glad Kit-Kat has stolen Max’s toy. Please, don’t tell Max I said that.
I love Tuxedo cats!
I’m So glad max and kit cat are getting along and you’re able to keep that little guy. Happy to hear he s healing up well and being a regular activity kitten 🙂
you have two of the sweetest looking pets ever!!!
whoops, meant to write “active” kitten. haha. anyway love the post and your blog!
oh thank goodness! i had hoped it would work out. kit-kat deserves a great home like yours! it was fate! bless you all!
Yay!!! I’m SO glad you guys decided to keep Mr Kit Kat! Congrats on your new addition!
Great post. I think our golden retriever feels the same way about our kittens as Max does about Kit-Cat. Pets make life more entertaining!
YAY!! That is wonderful news, Love the photo of the cat looking up at the toy.. so cute.The whole photo story is so fun. So nice when things all work out. 🙂
Hahahahahaha – I TOTALLY saw that coming. :o)
Congrats on the new addition.
Thrilled to hear Kit-Cat has found his forever home. I know Max will end up loving him. Kitties have a way of making you love them before you are even aware of it. That’s my story and I am sticking to it, especially when asked why we have 2 dogs and 3 cats!!!
Love Love Love this post….. I tell you what Layla…. if you ever get tired of deco stuff, you could always write really great childrens books !!!! Please sent an autographed copy of the first book to the Gordon children in Niles, Michigan 🙂 ~ sherri
That Max is quite the story teller! Even my hubby enjoyed it. Glad to know things are working out and that you have a ‘permanent’ new addition to the family!
Knew you’d keep him!!!! LOL God sent him into your lives to be loved and to love you guys…even Max!!!!
i really was hoping you would keep him. You needed a little fur baby of the kittah kind too. I bet max and the new furry one will end up being, oh let’s say accommodating towards each other. That’s not too much to ask for. Happy new kitty-kat parenting (and max parenting too). I am so happy for Kit-Cat.
Yah! such great news! We too, took in an injured kitten (yucky story, won’t go into details except to say Gangrene of entire hind leg, and starving). That was 3 years ago. There was just no way that our ‘foster’ kitty was ever going to leave after nursing her back to health (leg was saved, which utterly amazed me, and all she has to show for it is one tiny scar!). Bella, as my daughter named her, is our little soul mate kitty. I’m convinced they find us. My diva Lhasa Apso, also a cruelty case/foster turned adoption I daresay actually now quite enjoys her!
I just had this “feeling” that you guys were going to keep thus sweet baby!
Such a great story!LOVE RESCUES!!!!
Yeah, I knew Kit-Cat would find his way into your heart. Somethings are just fate.
This post cracked me up! Poor Max! I think you should worry about Kit-Cat chasing HIM 🙂
Glad you were able to find a way to keep Kit-Cat! 🙂
I am so glad Max decided you guys could keep Kit-Cat. I was hoping this is how it would work out. They are both so cute and will be fast friends before you know it.
Loved this post. Max is a great writer 🙂
That photo of Maximus laying on the couch is absolutely hilarious! I love it.
YAY………..i felt it!!!! Great pics- mine is on my lap right now just kneeding away.
What a happy ending. I’m so glad you’re keeping him!
I had a sneaking suspicion that’s how this story would end up. 😉 Cats are wonderful, even when they’re crazy.
Soooooooo Happy you are keeping Kit Kat ! It is so difficult to find a proper home for a creature you have nursed back to health. Hah ! I have 3 cats that started as kittens I had to bottle feed, a mini horse, a one eyed full grown horse, a one eyed toothless pug dog and 2 goats. Not to mention the feral cats that depend on me to fill their dish with food daily and chit chat with them while I feed and tend to the other critters on this Funny Farm of ours ! It is all love, peace and harrmony and I wouldn’t have it any other way ! Enjoy your new family member !
just start snipping the sharp ends off the nails now…and meowzers will become used to it. do it often… saves the furniture!
Hurray! So glad you get to keep that cute kitty 🙂
Layla – what a cute post! My cat’s names is Maximus. Maximus Cat, if you please. And Kit-cat is adorable. I wondered how long it would take before he wormed his way into your hearts and home. Not long, as it turned out! Congrats on the new fur-baby!
Ah yea! Both your dog & your kitty are so adorable. I love the picture of kit-cat going crazy on the toy. I literally laughed out loud 🙂 So nice that you were able to save her & now you get to keep her!
I knew he was yours from the moment you met.
Max,
Della in for a test weekend 5 years ago. She’s been here ever since. And… Suzzie joined us a few months ago because Momma didn’t want her to go to the pound. Thank dog! She snores louder than me & the stinky farts aren’t blamed on me anymore.
<3 Annie
Fantastic post. And that last photo is priceless. Glad Kit-Cat gets to stay; he and Max will be the best of friends – in time.
Such a lucky cat. And Max looks like he’s just trying to be cool…bet he and Kit Cat will be curled up together in no time.
And having a house, pet sitter all lined up makes it Purrfect!
hahahahahaha!!!! that is sooooo stinkin’ cute!!!!!
LOVE the Maximus cartoon!!! :o)
Kit Cat could come and live with Jack and Sally (named after the Nightmare before Christmas characters). Kit Cat has almost all the same markings as Jack and Sally. We can only tell them apart by their faces, Jack has a white stripe between his eyes, Sally doesn’t, but she makes up for it by being the talkative one. We love our kitties, who are brother and sister and fight like all brothers and sisters do. Oh wait they just insisted they were playing.
Sooo cute! I love it.
So glad to hear Kit-Cat is staying with you! He’s a lucky kitty that you were in the right place at the right time, I saw a kitty on the road last week that was not so lucky, and it just makes me so sad that we can’t always protect them.
